Come see this exhibit to experience how artists captured the high notes from the soundtrack of their lives. \nThe juror is Britt Conley\, a visual soundscape artist who paints and draws music\, its physics\, sound shapes\, and concepts from her studio at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton\, Virginia. \nSpecial workshops held in conjunction with this exhibit include: \n\nRhythmic Strokes Workshop on Sunday\, Sept 8 from 1-4pm. Under the influence of music\, experiment with various tools to create gestural lines\, rhythmic strokes and expressive marks—capturing the essence of musical elements in your own individual interpretation. Instructor: Jenny Nicholson. (Register by Sept 6)\n.\nFun with Musical Glass Decals Workshop on Saturday\, Sept 14 from 12-3pm (Part 1) and Thursday\, Sept 19 from 7-9pm (Part 2).

(Register by Sept 10)\n.\nMusic-themed Paper Collage Workshop on Sunday\, Sept 15 from 1-3:30pm. Express your musical self as you create a rhythmic collage that blends colorful papers with sheet music and other musical imagery. Learn about collage materials\, techniques and design concepts.

(Register by Sept 18)\n\nRegister for workshops in advance at www.DelRayArtisans.org/workshops or at the gallery. \nPlus\, join us at Del Ray Artisans gallery on Friday\, September 20 at 8pm for a musical performance to benefit Friends of ROAM\, a volunteer-run\, Del Ray-based organization that helps community youth access music lessons that might otherwise be unavailable to them due to costs.
